Started as a capsule jewelry project in 2018 by Anton Kuzmin, an artist with architectural and fashion background, CROSS ELEMENTS quickly became a well-sculptured brand with its unique DNA, combined natural and industrial aesthetics. We blend the classical approach and modern design methods to create our jewelry, giving them a live feel along with good engineering.
We strongly believe in the perfection of nature. Our mission is to follow the properties of natural materials and reveal their beauty in the form of jewelry

The Elements of Jewelry
The idea of CROSS lies in the intersection of elements that create a complete image of a jewelry piece: light, metal, stone, and the craftsmanship of an artist.
METAL
The backbone of jewelry - the foundation that gives a piece its structure, holding everything firmly in place and creating the primary shape. It takes a leading role. It's a sturdy material that can be rough and rugged or smooth and polished, reflecting, absorbing, or diffusing light in endless ways.
STONES
Rare and precious minerals. They are born in extreme and harsh conditions deep in the Earth's crust - a testament to the raw power of nature. These minerals are then carefully cut and polished, or left in their natural form, to take their place as a part of jewelry and bring the underworld's power and beauty to the surface.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Craftsmanship — is a crucial element of jewelry. It's the secret ingredient that either makes the idea shine or puts the whole work into the garbage. Every single touch must be done with precision and skill. With it, a rough concept can be transformed into a stunning work of art, with every element coming together to create a piece that stands the test of time.
LIGHT
Imagine the moment you hold up a piece of jewelry, and a dazzling array of light bursts forth, illuminating every facet, sparking the stones with vibrant color, and bringing the shape and texture to life. That's the magic of light - the final, essential element that ignites the idea behind the jewelry and makes it truly complete. Without light, a piece of jewelry is just a lifeless object, but with it, it becomes a radiant work of art that catches the eye and captures the mind.
